J'ai trouvé hier, dans un xérobrometum (pelouse calcicole xérique) ce Geopora, semi-hypogé, dans un microsol de 1cm de profondeur.L'apothécie, très fermée, mesure 7 mm de diamètre et l'ouverture de celle-ci a 2 mm.
En ouvrant l'apothécie pour prendre de l'hyménium, quelle ne fut pas ma surprise de voir des petites vésicules. Vésicules qui s'avèrent être des périthèces de Melanospora apparemment.
Que pensez-vous de ce Geopora et ce Melanospora ?

Re : Geopora & Melanospora
Hi Bernard,
Maybe someone has a pdf of the following article:
Kers, L.E. (1974) - The Swedish Geoporae and their Pyrenomycete Infections. Svensk Botanisk Tidskrift 68: 344-354.
If nobody else has it I can scan it for you and send it tomorrow.
The parasite is indeed most likely a Melanospora species.
Seems to be close to M. brevirostris, spores 25-31 x 13-17 (en face) x 12-14 (lateral view).
Host here was Geopora arenicola.
Best,
Ron

Re : Geopora & Melanospora
Are the perithecia spherical and non-ostiolate?

Re : Geopora & Melanospora
Then it probably is a Microthecium species.
Kers describes one species M. geoporae, but with spores 28-30 x 13-16.
I will scan the article and send it to your private mail.
A very interesting find, I never found these paraites on Geopora.

Re : Geopora & Melanospora
Hello in the round,
in my opinion could be the mushroom Melanospora brevirostris, only not ripely. On the last macrophoto one recognizes that some ascomata study a short neck and a few have already studied the dark spores.
The ascomata on my first photo are full-ripe, the host is Geopora/Sepultaria arenicola. Unfortunately, in addition I do not have microphotos.
Here still a screen sequence of Melanospora episphaeria on Hypomyces cf. rosellus. About this species there is surely little informations.

Re : Geopora & Melanospora
Hallo Peter,
i am interesting in the paper of Canon 1982. I found Melanospora brevirostris on leporid dung collected in de dunes of De Panne. In this dunes I found also serveral times Geopora arenicola but i had never attention for parasites. You can send it to my mail jacky@launoy.be
